Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, martini in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"

Crested Butte

Full report will come but let me tell you one thing...ok, maybe ten, you know me...

Do NOT hike up a freakin mountain in old running shoes with no tread. I didn't totally bust my ass, much, but I had to crab walk it down on my arse. Lovely. I think I'm in the pink in the background...falling over.I have been on a mountain bike twice, yep twice and even some G Rated single track. See, the last time I was here, they took me on some R Rated single track for my first ride EVER on a mountain bike. I cried, I fell, I cried some more, I bled - who the hell puts a tree in the middle of the road for crying out loud?!?! To get me back on a mountain bike is a feat in itself. I'm sticking to G-PG Rated - fire roads, double track and shit that doesn't drop off a sheer cliff for Pete's sake.

When you're on vacation, time does not matter. Especially when it comes to drinkin! That's our morning cup of joe ....Thank GAWD I'm in decent shape or the altitude might have just killed me. Don't get me wrong, it's hard and I'm not moving as fast as I should BUT I can't imagine if I was out a shape or a huge fat ass. OH, there's another thing, NO fat people here. I think CO is one of the most in shape/skinniest in the country if I'm not mistaken.

OMGosh, l.o.v.e. CB! Sounds like you are having a great time, can't wait to read the full report. What was the first Mt. Bike ride you went on last year? Ugh, there are some tough ones there. My fav. easy one is Snoddgrass (or something like that).

Ummm looks absolutely awesome there. I would have loved to have driven all the way down there to have that cup of coffee with you! But I feel ya with the mtn bike. NO THANKS, but I do like the G rated trails like you. Enjoy the rest of your trip!!!

IronMissy - it's official!

Enough about me, what do you think about me?

I'm not really great at swimming, biking or running...I'm just OK at all three! Hell, I pretty much just ride for fun and run for the company any more. I have dogs instead of kids and think that all my friends WITH kids are saints. I write as though I'm talking so forgive my "proper" use of grammar.
